The true hero <br />In the collision that didn't happen <br />Was the driver who swerved <br />Throwing his car with his family in it <br />Into the road friendly field. <br /> <br />In the face of death I loose my snootiness <br />Declaring it was in the goodness of God's grace <br />A nonincident-incident, neither of us being hurt. <br /> <br />My shock from how close we came to disaster <br />His relief I wasn't a crazed racist. <br />Instinctively we realized the night was our enemy, <br />With a black rural road where I was ill experienced, <br />And not each other.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/incident-on-a-night-rural-road/
